Because the tilt of the earth is way from the sun so the USA is face up to the sun so we get more direct sunlight so we have longer days because there is more distance to cross before the sun goes down.

PS in the Southern Hemisphere shadows would be shorter in December compared with June.

Does the northern hemisphere have more daylight hours on December 21st or June 21st?
On June 21st.
In the northern hemisphere why do periods of daylight get longer between late December and late June?
In the northern hemisphere, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes sunlight to hit the region more directly as it moves towards the summer solstice in late June. This angle of sunlight increases the length of daytime hours and results in longer periods of daylight.
How does the length of daylight change from Summer to Winter?
Well. June 21st or June 22nd every year is the longest day (most hours of sunlight), and December 21st or 22nd every year is the longest night (least hours of sunlight). So there is a 'shortening' of the period of light per day from June to December, and this reverses from December to June.

Does Florida or Michigan have longer daylight in the summer?
Florida being closer to the equator would mean that they have slightly longer daylight hours in the summer based on the angle of the earth toward the sun. Michigan gets more daylight during the summer since it is farther from the equator and closer to the Arctic Circle, north of which there is no sunset on the day of the summer solstice. On June 21, Detroit has about 15¼ hours of sunlight while Miami has only about 13 3/4 hours of sunlight. Consequently, on December 21, Detroit has about 9 hours of sunlight while Miami has about 10½ hours of sunlight.
